Ontologia dei beni culturali
Grasso, Davide
2011
Abstract
During the last several decades, the legislative work of national and international institutions has been promoting the protection and conservation of what the dictates of law define as cultural heritage. What is, however, an asset properly belonging to such heritage? What a worthless burden? Does this distinction presuppose a subjective judgment or an objective skill? To address these and other questions is necessary that philosophical inquiry consider the problem of the essence of cultural assets and the selection procedures of the protected heritage by tracing the outlines of a new discipline: the ontology of cultural heritage. This line of research, emerging today, presents itself as a branch of ontology endowed with great application potential thanks to the combination of the most advanced results of anthropology, informatics and law studies with those of social ontology, semantics, and mereology.
